Girl's Weekend at the Beach/Update on Mom!

My sister and I are headed out this afternoon after I get off work to spend the weekend at Kure Beach, North Carolina with our girl cousins (on my Dad's side)!!! Won't that be fun? Rest, relaxation, good food, talking and laughing will be the highlights of our weekend. Who knows what else we will get into. I will be sure to take lots of pictures. This is the same beach that Tom, Adelaide and I went to this summer, so I am so excited to be going back in the fall.
The weather is supposed to be gorgeous this weekend, so I am thrilled!

My Mom came home from Duke on Wednesday and she is doing good! Praise God!!! The doctor felt like the surgery went well, but we don't know anything yet about her vision until things settle down in her eye. Still praying for some recovery of vision and that her retina will not detach again. She goes back to Duke in a week for a follow-up.

I hope all of you have a delightful weekend filled with those special things that you love. Enjoy doing whatever makes you happy and spending time with those folks that are special in your life.

Love & blessings from NC!
Melinda

    I'm finally getting online today. I haven't check in on my favorite blogs in forever. Way too long.
    One of these days I'll try to get back into it. I just had a few minutes and wanted to peek over here and say hello.
    Love & hugs sent from Oklahoma!
    P.S. I'm keeping your mom in my prayers.

  15. Ok, it's obviously not enough that I'm jealous of your sewing room ... now I'm jealous of your trip to the beach! LOL J/K

    Although I do LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the beach (and would give up the sewing room for more time on the beach). Unfortunately we're almost 16 hours from Kure Beach. :-(

    Enjoy your trip to the beach!

    See you soon.

  22. Hope your trip with your sister and cousins was just the "ticket" for some R&R! Glad your mom's eye surgery went well. My mom had a detached retina years ago and i have had two surgeries on tears on my retina. Must run in the family!

    Love the picture of your Mom and your two beautiful daughters!
